Abby's POV
Look at the world as it's turning
Look at the light as it shines down on me
Every star softly burning
Every atom of life in the sea
Sobrang dami naming ginawa sa araw nato at sa sumunod pa na araw, things that we've never done before like climb a coconut tree, walk around a forest, fish, swim in a river and carry four gallons of water from it so we have something to drink and bathe or brush our teeth with. May toothpaste na kasi sa helicopter, pwede namang gumamit ng fingers pag ganito na talaga kahirap na situation.
Hindi ko na maisip kung gaano na kami katagal dito, and I think because masaya naman kami. Kahit na minsan sobrang hirap maghanap ng pagkain.
It's such a beautiful world
Can't we all live as one and in peace
It's such a beautiful world
And if you want it you just have to believe
Open your eyes and you'll see
Look at the world as it's turning
Infinite life lived at infinite speeds
Every smell, every sound, every colour
All that is you makes up all that is me
Andito kami ngayon naliligo malapit sa may falls. May dala kaming extra na damit na nakita lang din namin sa mga dalang bagahe ng pilots. They're a bit baggy for us pero at least may masusuot kami.
For the first time na experience ko yung peace. We could hear and see the birds in here. The beautiful landscape is perfect. Naalala ko na parang ganito rin yung mga nakikita kong design sa environment na nasa pot ng bonsai, at higit sa lahat given na yung makasama ko ang isa pinaka amazing na babaeng nakilala ko sa buong buhay ko.
It's such a beautiful world
Can't we all live as one and in peace
It's such a beautiful world
And if you want it you just have to believe
We've been friends since forever, hindi ko madalas sinasabi pero I really admire her for being cute, simple, opinionated and stubborn. I mean it's not always about the good things right?. Until nung nalaman ko na sobrang baba lang pala ng tingin nya sakin before. Siguro nga friends can break your heart too.
I felt really bad. Hindi naman talaga ako galit sa kanya, I'm mad at myself for not being enough. For not being the best friend na pwede niyang ipagmalaki sa mundo.
Pero through the years nagbago naman siya unconsciously. She had been a better friend to me. May panahon na nag-aaway kami pero hindi rin namin matiis ang isa't isa.
Kaya ngayon hindi ko gets eh, I used to look at her as a friend and a sister pero these past few days, it was different. Way way different. Hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko na tingnan siya. I mean maganda naman si Sela. Pero hindi yun eh. I'm sure na hindi yun yung mismong tinitingnan ko.
Open your eyes and you'll see
Open your eyes and you'll see
It's such a beautiful world
Can't we all live as one and in peace
It's such a beautiful world
And if you want it you just have to believe
Oh oh oh oh oh
Napalingon siya sakin.
"What?."
"It must be your soul."
"Huh?."
"Nothing." Sabi ko lang. No, that's not probably it. Because if that's the case, that means I'm falling for her. I'm not, right? Come on Abby, she's your best friend. She's a girl, and girlfriends don't fall for each other.
It's such a beautiful world
It's such a beautiful world
It's such a beautiful world
And if you want it you just have to believe
Open your eyes and you'll see
Look at the world as it's turning
Look at the light as it shines down on me
Gabi na. Kakatapos lang namin kumain at maglinis ng ngipin, it's time to sleep na. Nakatingin siya sa apoy habang nakatingin naman ako sa kanya. I see no difference.
"I don't play with things that I'm afraid of." Sabi niya, still staring at the bonfire.
"Like what?."
"Fire. Nakakatakot kayang masaktan."
"Ako naman, I don't play with things that I can possibly break."
"Ano naman yun?."
"Hearts.." napalingon siya sakin,
"..and friendship. You know, I want it so bad to kiss you right now. But I'm afraid that's gonna break--"
"Sirain mo please." She said. Which is ikinagulat ko.
"W-what?."
"Sirain mo. Like this--" She suddenly grabbed my neck and crashed her lips to mine, kissing me passionately until nagising ako. Panaginip lang pala. What the heck? Hindi. Hindi ako nadidismaya. Wala akong gusto sa kanya, okay? Tsk. And I'm certainly not falling for her. Hindi pwede. Napatingin ako kay Sela who's sleeping peacefully beside me.
Madaling araw pa pala. Bumangon ako at umupo. Ano ba tong nangyayari sakin? Tsk. Abby, hindi yan pwede okay? Siguro naiisip mo lang yan kasi siya yung andito at lagi mong nakikita. Nababaliw kalang, hindi ka nahuhulog kay Sela.

Sela's POV
Simula nang magising ako pakiramdam ko iniiwasan ako ni Abby kasi parang sunod ng sunod lang ako sa kanya para maghanap ng makakain. Hindi niya ako kinakausap, buong araw siyang hindi umiimik.
Kumakain na kami ng pananghalian sa tabi parin malapit sa waterfalls.
"Abby, may problema ba?." Nag-aalala lang kasi ako talaga sa kanya. Hindi siya makatingin sakin.
"Wala."
"May nagawa ba akong mali--"
"No Sela. Wala kang nagawa. I'm just tired."
"Don't worry, makakaalis din tayo dito. Tiwala lang."
"I know." Sabi niya pero parang malungkot parin siya.
Medyo madilim na nang makabalik kami sa seashore kung saan andun ang mga gamit namin. I built a fire habang nakaupo lang siya sa blanket na hinihigaan namin. Tumabi nako sa kanya once I finished. Lumingon ako sa kanya, mukhang bothered parin siya.
"Are you sure okay ka lang?. Ano ba talagang problema ha?. You know you can tell me anything." I held her hand.
"I'm confused." She said na parang nahihiyang lumingon sakin.
"About what?."
"W-wala."
"Abby, sige na. Tell me. What is it?. Buong araw ka nang ganyan."
Lumingon siya sakin, staring intently into my eyes.
